Ephemeral networks with random availability of links: The case of fast networks (2015)
Journal Article
Akrida, E., Gąsieniec, L., Mertzios, G., & Spirakis, P. (2016). Ephemeral networks with random availability of links: The case of fast networks. Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing, 87, 109-120. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jpdc.2015.10.002

We consider here a model of temporal networks, the links of which are available only at certain moments in time, chosen randomly from a subset of the positive integers. We define the notion of the Temporal Diameter of such networks. We also define fa... Read More about Ephemeral networks with random availability of links: The case of fast networks.

Utilising Data-driven Learning in Chemistry Teaching: a Shortcut to Improving Chemical Language Comprehension (2014)
Journal Article
Rees, S., Bruce, M., & Bradley, S. (2014). Utilising Data-driven Learning in Chemistry Teaching: a Shortcut to Improving Chemical Language Comprehension. New Directions in the Teaching of Physical Sciences, 10(1), 12-19. https://doi.org/10.11120/ndir.2014.00028

This article describes the development of the FOCUS project and specific pedagogical strategies to improve understanding of the language of chemistry. The importance of language comprehension skills for success in learning chemistry has recently been...

The ethical and social implications of personalization technologies for e-learning (2014)
Journal Article
Ashman, H., Brailsford, T., Cristea, A., Sheng, Q. Z., Stewart, C., Toms, E. G., & Wade, V. (2014). The ethical and social implications of personalization technologies for e-learning. Information and Management, 51(6), 819-832. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.im.2014.04.003

Personalization in information systems can be considered beneficial but also ethically and socially harmful. Like many other technologies, the uptake of personalization has been rapid, with inadequate consideration given to its effects. Personalizati...

On temporally connected graphs of small cost
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Akrida, E., Gasieniec, L., Mertzios, G., & Spirakis, P. (2015, September). On temporally connected graphs of small cost. Presented at 13th Workshop on Approximation and Online Algorithms (WAOA), Patras, Greece

We study the design of small cost temporally connected graphs, under various constraints. We mainly consider undirected graphs of n vertices, where each edge has an associated set of discrete availability instances (labels). A journey from vertex u t...
